- THREAD 🧵

[Aurora Martel @AuroraMar1eL]

🚨BREAKING: Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper that should be uncomfortable reading for every CEO automating their workforce right now.

The argument is straightforward. Every company replacing workers with AI is also eliminating its own future customers. Laid off workers stop spending. Enough of them stop spending and nobody can afford to buy anything. The companies that fired everyone end up selling into an economy with no purchasing power left.

Every executive can see this. The math is not complicated. But here is why nobody stops.

If you do not automate, your competitor does. They cut costs, lower prices, take your market share, and you collapse anyway. So every company automates knowing it is collectively destructive because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives. The researchers proved this is a Prisoner's Dilemma playing out in real time.

The numbers are already moving. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year. Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that within the next year the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI. Goldman Sachs deployed a coding tool that lets one engineer do the work of five. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 and AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half those cases. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation.

The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income does not change a single company's incentive to automate. Capital income taxes adjust profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human. Collective bargaining cannot hold because automating is always the dominant strategy.

They also identified what they call a Red Queen effect. Better AI does not solve the problem, it accelerates it. Every company chases faster automation to gain market share over rivals but at the end everyone has automated equally, the gains cancel out, and the only thing left is more destroyed demand.

The one thing the math says could work is a Pigouvian automation tax. A per-task charge that forces companies to account for the demand they destroy each time they replace a worker.

The conclusion is that this is not a transfer of wealth from workers to owners. Both sides lose. Workers lose income. Companies lose customers. It is a deadweight loss with no market mechanism to stop it on its own.

Micro-retirement is one of those catchy, fanciful, trendy sounding term but don't really make sense. Either you retire or you don't. If there's micro, then is there macro? Just call it sabbatical. #GenZ #slay

Must feel so fun for them to be in the news like this. Maybe change name to HairScam better.

If your workload is X and your work quality is of a high level, when your workload becomes 2X, 3X or more, it's natural you need to spend more time to maintain the same level of high quality. Thinking you can do more with less (time) or otherwise is an illusion #lawofproductivity

Disgusted at the tone of this article mocking the woman. Show more empathy and compassion. Who would like to live in a toilet if they had a choice.

When in a new role, trying to make big changes can backfire if you don't learn the rules of the game first. Knowing the rules esp. the unwritten/unspoken ones are often under-rated but it can save you a lot of unnecessary wasted time and effort. #lifehack #jobhack #change

You think private sector is the same as civil service? Think again. What's the real purpose of this email? Even if everyone replies, who has the time to read them. #DOGE #joke

Some coffee shop owners can afford multi million figures for the coffee shop but can't be bothered to pay a tiny fraction of that cost to upkeep the toilet. Pound wise, penny foolish. #WTO #WorldToiletDay #SG #joke

If this isn't tech superiority, then what is. Better to focus on your own tech instead of trying to disrupt other's. Disruption is futile, makes the other party even more determined to succeed. #DeepSeekAI #techwar

Trying to test water or nothing better to do. Whether they were real or fake job listings, only the one who put them up knows. Don't mix up race and nationality. #politics #ForeignInterference

Personal info got sensitive & non-sensitive. Though IC number is a unique identifier, is it not sensitive personal info? Should sensitive personal info be publicly accessible. Who's gonna be responsible if there's ID fraud. #pdpa #acra #cna

Indian home beauty startup YesMadam sent a survey to their employees about stress and then fired the employees that said they were under significant stress 🤦🏽‍♂️
